Query Buff163 via our API

Filter the unified /steam/api/items endpoint with markets=buff to return only Buff163 listings — or omit it for a side-by-side view across every marketplace.

  • Single auth header, same JSON schema for every market.
  • Filter by game, item name, price range, float.
  • Sort by price, listing volume, or recency.
  • Same DTO across REST and WebSocket streams.
Buff163 API Request
# curl with API key
curl -H "X-Api-Key: $KEY" "https://www.steamwebapi.com/steam/api/items?markets=buff&game=cs2"
# PHP
$client = \Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient::create();
$res = $client->request('GET', 'https://www.steamwebapi.com/steam/api/items?markets=buff&game=cs2', ['headers' => ['X-Api-Key' => $KEY]]);
$items = $res->toArray();
# Node.js / JavaScript
const r = await fetch(`https://www.steamwebapi.com/steam/api/items?markets=buff&game=cs2`, { headers: { 'X-Api-Key': KEY } });
const items = await r.json();

Dedicated Buff163 endpoints

On top of the unified /steam/api/items route, every market we cover gets two convenience endpoints — one schema, one auth header, every marketplace.

GET /market/buff/prices

Live prices snapshot

Returns the current Buff163 catalogue as a flat array. Each row is one item with the lowest active price we have on record.

Sample response
[
  {
    "market_hash_name": "Souvenir UMP-45 | Gunsmoke (Minimal Wear)",
    "price": 130.69,
    "quantity": 1,
    "createdat": "2026-09-18T00:00:00+00:00",
    "variants": null
  },
  {
    "market_hash_name": "Sticker | Slab (Foil) | Krakow 2017",
    "price": 114.65,
    "quantity": 1,
    "createdat": "2026-09-18T00:00:00+00:00",
    "variants": null
  }
]
  • · Same JSON schema across every marketplace we cover.
  • · We surface the lowest price per item — never an average, never a stale tick.
  • · Optionally filter by market_hash_name or convert prices via ?currency=EUR.
GET /market/buff/history

Per-item price history

Daily-snapshot history of the lowest Buff163 price for a given item, ideal for charts and portfolio trackers.

Sample response
[
  {
    "createdat": "2026-09-11T00:00:00+00:00",
    "price": 124.40,
    "quantity": 1
  },
  {
    "createdat": "2026-09-17T00:00:00+00:00",
    "price": 130.69,
    "quantity": 1
  }
]
  • · One row per day, always the lowest price we recorded for that day.
  • · Bounded with start_date and end_date (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • · market_hash_name is required — history is per-item, not per-market.

Prefer one call across every marketplace? Use the unified /steam/api/items endpoint with markets=… — same DTO, comparison data included.

About Buff163

Buff163 (vaak simpelweg « Buff » genoemd) wordt beheerd door NetEase en is veruit de grootste CS2-marketplace van Azië qua listing-volume en handelsvolume over 24 uur. Prijzen liggen er doorgaans enkele procenten lager dan op westerse marketplaces, waardoor Buff-data essentieel is voor elke serieuze prijsvergelijking, arbitragetool of inventory-waarderingsengine.

Buff163 API — FAQ

Wat is Buff163?

Hoe krijg ik toegang tot Buff163-prijzen?

Haal een API-sleutel op vanuit het dashboard en roep /steam/api/items aan met markets=buff. De respons komt binnen in dezelfde DTO als elke andere marketplace — één schema, één integratie.
